THE news continues to be dominated by pestilence and war. The spread of one of the most ghastly viruses continues to deliver haunting pictures from beleaguered sub-Saharan Africa.

Nigel Farage comments on the brutal murder of an American journalist[EXPRESS]

Meanwhile, in the Middle East, ruthless and barbaric extremists behead captives and force anyone outside of their prohibitive and prehistoric dark ideologies to convert or be killed.

It's appalling that 100 years after the First World War - one of the deadliest conflicts in history, accounting for as many as 65 million estimated deaths - we still have a world plagued by poverty and inhumanity that would not look out of place during the Middle Ages.

One legacy of two world wars was the understanding of universal human rights. Contrary to popular belief, I staunchly believe that the law should serve to prevent harm and provide shelter for those most vulnerable in society.

However, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is all too often exploited by criminals to garner reprieve after committing ills, rather than being used to protect society from the sorts of dangers that deprive people the freedom to live without fear.

The estimated 500 British fighters, making up a quarter of the believed 2,000 foreign jihadists fighting as Islamic State (IS) militants are, due to legal constructs such as the ECHR, free to return to the UK and be afforded parity with a British citizen.

Various academics and critics have been questioned about why so many foreign jihadists are British nationals, with some citing the spread of Islamist extremist ideologies as the result of a country scared to impinge on religion, free speech and multiculturalism.

Even now we have a Government trading in the right-sounding words, carefully picked to shirk any threat of offence or criticism, yet afraid to talk openly about the dangers that are not only potentially going to return to our streets with the repatriation of hundreds of extremist fighters, but are actually being bred here.

Earlier this week I said that those fighters who departed the UK to commit such inhuman acts of atrocity should be prevented from ever returning.

In deciding to leave the UK to fight for an ultra-radical Islamic state and oppose all Western values, they are in my mind forfeiting their right to return and enjoy the protections such values afford our citizens.

But it is not that simple. Under the ECHR you simply cannot strip someone of their passport and make them 'stateless'.

Yet we absolutely must not have the situation where these most heathen of criminals and international terrorists can return to the UK and bring with them their savage ideology. Something must be done.

Journalist James Foley was brutally murdered by the Islamic State [AP]

If I were Barack Obama I would be deeply insulted by such glib behaviour from the Prime Minister

Reports that the black flag of the IS militants has been flying in The Hague and unconfirmed sightings in London are frankly chilling. The Dutch Government has banned flying the black flag. Will we do the same?

But what do we have to worry about? After all we have a Prime Minister who is 'always on his Blackberry' and who popped into work from his holiday in Cornwall to briefly pay lip service to the press after the beheading of James Foley, before returning to build sandcastles and play Angry Birds in the South-West sunshine.

If I were Barack Obama I would be deeply insulted by such glib behaviour from the Prime Minister after learning that the jihadist responsible for the most brutal killing of an American journalist was likely a British national.

Tomorrow, I will be in Mons at the Nimy bridge where the first major action of the British Expeditionary Force took place during the First World War.

I will lay a wreath to remember those who gave their lives to defend our freedoms and democracy in one of the most brutal wars in human history.

I will hold in my heart the sentiment 'Lest We Forget', a lesson that teaches us simply to learn from the past.

The battle lines of ruthless imperialism and merciless imposition of an extremist ideology has seen the world embroiled in two global conflicts, with the loss of as many as 100 million lives in just three decades.

I hope and pray that this viral spread of extremist and expansionist radical Islamist aggression can be curbed before it grows even further.

The Human Rights Act along with other laws are made with good intentions, but then they are abused, as we have seen it this country for far to long. the government is weak, the judges and the lawyers have no respect for the British people. The British people need to be protected first and then the scum of the world second if at all

So the Home office wont cancel these murderers passports as it breaking the law .

THIS HAS JUST CONFIRMED FOR ME THAT THIS PATHETIC GOVERNMENT WILL RISK OUR CHILDRENS LIVES ALL FOR THE SAKE OF RUSHING A LAW THROUGH THAT WOULD KEEP OUR STREETS SAFE AND PREVENT THE SCUM FROM RETURNING TO OUR STREETS ,

TO THINK I VOTED FOR THESE TRAITORS LAST TIME AROUND MAKES ME SICK .

THE LINE IN THE SAND HAS BEEN CROSSED , CAN ANYONE ANNOUNCE A DATE TO MARCH TO NUMBER 10 AS THEY NEED TO GET THE MESSAGE WE DONT WANT A SHARIA LAW RUN COUNTRY .

Not sure I'd describe German Imperialism in WW1 as 'an extremist ideology'.

Whilst all this mayhem is going on, with our country now being openly over-run by foreign immigration waves, which are visibly piling up along the Northern French shore, that will provide the seed-bed for an ethnic civil war in England, & with the activities of ISIS acting like a Very Light illuminating the threat that's building in this country from the Mohammedans massing here, presenting a big opportunity for a dramatic speech intervention by UKIP to seize the agenda, instead all I've heard from UKIP is Farage making a fool out of himself like a dancing bear on a hot plate with a chain thru his nose dancing to a Multi-Cultist tune apologizing for "ting-tong". =(

Do I detect a smell of BNP in your post? I would like to see the battle won by decent folk in the UKIP, but if push comes to shove I know who we have to turn to. So don't make disparaging comment about UKIP.

ENGLAND I think this really sums it all up. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Britain . However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. As Britons, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of wars, struggles, trials and victories fought by the untold masses of men and women who laid down their lives and of the millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. If St.George's cross offends you, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our National Motto, or Our Way of Life, I encourage you take advantage of one other great British freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'. We didn't force you to come here. If you don't like it GO HOME!! You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted YOU. Pretty easy really, when you think about it. If we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies) it will also, sooner or later get back to the complainers, ---------------­---------------­---------------­---------------­---------------­--- ENGLAND

GO HOME! Their Government don't give other people monies to them at their homes.
Ghengis Kahn and his Hoards, drove many Muslims out of Afghanistan, so they settled and decided to take over North India, now Pakistan.
Is Mr Blair another Ghengis Khan, I wonder??

Nigel, not only must these anti western ISIS supporters with British passports be denied the right to return ( hopefully the SAS will deal with the problem first) but none of the Isis fighters relatives should be allowed to remain or access the state welfare system, they are all guilty and bring the good name of Islam much dishonour.

Once again Nigel Farage echos what every true citizen of this country is saying or thinking. The establishment at Westminster, are incapable of implementing the wishes of the people. The SHEEPLE who will once again, I suspect, blindly place their cross on the Ballot paper next spring for LIBLABCON, will this time, live to regret it.

Where the infamous Middle East PEACE Envoy, slimey gutless Tony Blair??????
He should be sent to Iraq to sort it all out.
But there again, knowing the scum bag worm for what he and his family are, he's more than likely advising ISIS already.
Incidentally, where's the CHilcot Report

We REALLY need a government with guts to severely overhaul the borders and immigration and send illegals straight back to the continent they came from.They want to play the " I don't have any papers" game, drop at the nearest point of africa of middle east. Gaza, lebanon ansdd syria are three good places to send them, unlikely to come back.

I DON'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN CAMERON SUNNING HIMSELF AND OBAMA PLAYING GOLF. NEITHER ARE MUCH INTERESTED IN ANYTHING EXCEPT ENJOYING THEMSELVES. WHEN THEY ARE IN SITU THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING EARTH SHATTERING SO THEY COULD JUST GO ON PERMANENT HOLIDAYS.

Most posters on here support Nigel Farage and his party, but only one, TheTruth, seems to understand that Teresa Mays' proposals are far more than a simple Asbo! Please read TheTruths posts and hopefully you'll realise that if she pushes this proposed legislation through quickly enough, Nigel and his party may have been banned by 2015!
Carry on reading and it will become clear why, in the terms of 'groups believed to be inciting extremist behaviour' may be more likely to be white British than Muslims,

I would not put it past Cameron or anyone else in that liblabcon witches cauldron, to attempt to try and prevent any other political party's to be formed or existing ones to be elected. They are terrified of UKIP, and so they should be. These politicians won't understand anything until the bricks of Westminster are tumbled down around their ears. This land is becoming a Dictatorship and the sheeple sit back and let it happen.

“It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.”

The only hope for this country is to vote UKIP and Nigel Farage. Funny how David Cameron slips further and further down the slippery slope of incompetency. Every single thing he handles is a disaster. Boris Johnson may save the Tories if they get rid of DC but Boris wont save the country.
We need some one strong and with the courage of his convictions and a steely true British resolve. The only one I know who has the right credentials is Nigel. Please true Brits vote UKIP.

Dead right!
It's about time then, that we start taking to the streets to get our brave Commando out of jail.
He was only put there to appease these vile muslims that inhabit our land and HAVE NO intentions of assimilating onto our culture

Spot on. Cameron is a gonner. UKIP will never do a deal whilst he's in charge of the Tories and he'll never win an outright mandate with all the U-turns, broken promises and policy-on-the hoof decisions which have no mandate from the British people.

One they go and fight overseas they should have to stay there, just cancel their passports and UK citizenship and let them stay where they are, and if the family's of these people want to join them all the better

There is a problem with that. In my youth, many misguided young men left England and other countries to fight against Franco's regime in the Spanish Civil War. They achieved nothing due to the superiority of Franco's army, yet they returned home without being penalised in any way as far as I remember. That does set a precedent. Despite this, I would like action to be taken against young people who leave the UK to fight in the ISIS brigade.

I am with you all the way on that, I simply point out that our civilians fighting in foreign wars in the past will be cited as being a precedent in a Court of Law. A new Law needs to be passed to counter this.

Completely agree, strip them of their citizenship rights. Make them stateless, or they actually are citizens of IS and its Caliphate.
